A REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM
AND GOVT.
Washington Gazette.

AS it seems that an unusual amount
of rheumatism and govt prevails
throughout the country, and especially
among prominent public men, l deem
it advisable if not incumbent upon me,
to furnish your largely circulated jour
nal for publication a formula that |
have used in an extensive practice OF
many years in the treatment of rheu-
matism and govt. In large majority
of cases of muscular as we'll as cOnsti-
tutonal rheumatism and in govt | have
found it remarkable etficacious. 1t has
also been used by number of my medi-
cal friends, who testify strongly in be-
half of its remedial virtues. Physi-
clans who are acquainted with the just
ly celebrated formula of Lavllle and
SartiQue will at once recognize SINH
larity between my formula and theirs.
Theirs, as we'll as mine, contain the al
cohoic acetic extract of cochicum, and
the fact this particular preparation of
cOlchcum is used is the chief secret of
their success. 1t will be observed that
| have added to my formula several
vegetable extracts which theirs do not
contain and which, in my judgment,
render it superior by its Increased &C
ton upon the hillary organs. 1t is, of
course, OF the first Importance that the
preparation of colchicum used should
be pure and fresh. 1t is net advisable
that my preparation be used without
first consulting physician.

held responsible until they have settled
their bills, and ordered them discon-
| tinued.
f. IT subscribers remove to other
places, without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
direction, they are held responsible.
). The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
office, or removing or leaving them IN

paper and makes use Of it, whether he
has ordered it or not, is held III law to-
be subscriber.

it on, and the subscriber will be res
ponsible until an express notice, with
payment of all arrears, is sent to the
publisher.
Stop My PAPER.-After you get OF
your ear and make up yonr mind to
stop your paper to make the editor
feel Inundated, just poke your finger
in water and then pull it out and look
for the hole. Then you will know how
sadly you are missed. The man who
thinks paper cannot survive without
his support ought to go off and stay
awhile. When he comes back he will
find that half of his friends didn't
know he was gone. The other half
didn't care cent. and the world at
large hadn't kept any account of his
movements whatever You will find
things you cannot endorse IN every
paper. Even the Bible is plain and hits
some hard lcks.
If you were to get NAL and burn your
Bible the hundreds of presses would
still go on printing them, and if you
stop your paper and call the editor ugl.
names the paper would still be pub
lished, ind what more you will sneak
around and borrow copy of it every
week from your neighbor.-Gate City

Perhaps the reason that most people
are sensitive about being considered old
is the poor show they make for the
years they have lived. A man is

WASHINGTON, June 81 met
the wife of Western Congressman
in the Corcoran gallery here yester-
day. While she does not BY any
means represent type Of Washing
ton women, she yet combines so
many traits that are found among
them that she is in a certain sense
representative. She seemed to be in
sort Of transition state in every
particular, not only as to mental
characteristics, but even in her at
tire and manner. She had on bon
net that reached the furthest ex-
IRENE of fashion, a pair of thick
soled and awkard boots that could
only have been made by back
country cobbler, and her attire was
an indescribably odd collection Of va
rious styles and fashions. Immedi-
ately beneath the new fashioned
bonnet she had an old fashioned
bang. Her eyes were bright, her
color perfect and she talked with an
enjoyment Of one who was under
perpetual spell Of excitement. In
summing up her attire | should
place it somewhat as follows:
Shoes-Keokuk.
Bonnet-Paris.
Cloth jacket-London.
Gown-Washington.
Massive gold chain-Chicago.
Parasol-New York.
Girdle-Vienna.
Accent-London, Iowa, Paris, Hi
nois, New York, New England, Ger
many, South Carolina and ireland.
